Gretsch G9480 “Laydie Belle” Irish Tenor Banjo - "Worth seeking out, production run was too short"

Harley Benton Kahuna CLU-36T - "Attractive and different for a wood body single cone resonator Ukulele"
It's VERY light for a resonator Ukulele, and quite small for a Tenor with a 42cm scale length, but it does have a very chunky neck and feels very solidly and nicely made. Its quite quiet for a resona…

Beltona The Blue Uke #2 Concert - "One of the best Ukuleles money can buy"
This has a really great tone and bags of volume, not a lot of sustain though so some songs don't work well. The composite body is much lighter that a metal one, (though its still heavy for a Ukulele)…

Thomann Bohemia Concert Ukulele - "Said it was a Tenor Scale but was actually Concert"

Clearwater Roundback Baritone Ukulele - "Very Versatile Baritone Ukulele "

Ashton UKE100 - "Get something else"
